PLEASE NOTE: The backup process may take a while. Make sure everything is fine, and then click on the READ button to start creating the image in your hard drive. To do so, click on the blue folder, and select a location and a name for your backup image, let’s say D:/Retropie/backup.imgĪTTENTION: This should be a non-existent file! You are creating a new one with Win32DiskImager! Don’t select another image on your drive, because it will damage or overwrite it! Also, make sure your computer’s hard drive has enough space for the image file that is going to be created. With the microSD card inserted, and Win32DiskImager ready to go, click on the “Device” drop-down menu to select the device where the microSD card that needs to be backed up is inserted.Īfter you find it, you need to give a location and a name to your backup image that is going to be created. We don’t recommend you to mess up with any of these partitions, you need to back it up first! 3. Because the microSD card with Retropie has 2 partitions, one of them will have some files (the main, boot partition), and the other will be unreadable. Please make note which “drive” is the drive where the microSD is. This is normal! Don’t worry! Just close the windows that pop-up and move on. If you still don’t see a place to use these, you might need to purchase an adapter from Amazon.ĪTTENTION: If the card inserted has Retropie installed, you’ll get a number of messages in Windows 10, like the card needs formatting and maybe a couple of other error messages.
If you don’t have one, try an SD slot with the SD card adapter that comes with your microSD card. Insert the microSD card in your computer’s microSD slot.

You can safely allow it to install and work. You might need Administration privileges on Windows 10 to install it. There are other microSD card image flashing tools around, but we’ve found Win32Disk Imager to be extremely reliable, and it’s the one we use daily, so it’s the one we recommend.
